HUNTSVILLE — The U.S. Supreme Court considered appeals from a convicted killer seeking to avoid the Texas death chamber Thursday evening for the robbery-slaying of a suburban Dallas woman beaten while delivering doughnuts and breakfast tacos 11 years ago.

Anthony Doyle, 29, faced lethal injection for the death of Hyun Mi Cho, who was bludgeoned with a baseball bat, then robbed of her car, cellphone and credit cards. Evidence showed Doyle ordered the food to his parents’ house then shared it with friends after stuffing the 37-year-old woman’s body in a neighbor’s trash can in an alley behind the home in Rowlett, just east of Dallas.

Doyle would be the fourth Texas inmate executed this year and last to use pentobarbital officials in the nation’s most active capital punishment state purchased last year from a compounding pharmacy.

Another execution scheduled for next week would use a new supply of the sedative obtained by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice from a different pharmacy the prison agency is refusing to identify. Attorneys for that condemned inmate, Tommy Lynn Sells, and another prisoner set to die next month have sued to force the agency to disclose its pentobarbital provider. The state attorney general’s office previously has said the information should be public, but the prison agency has said it must be withheld to protect the safety of its supplier and will make that argument in seeking a new opinion from the state attorney general.

Doyle’s attorney, Lydia Brandt, contended his execution should be delayed and he deserved a new punishment hearing because Dallas County jurors at his capital murder trial in 2004 were presented unknowingly false evidence about his inability to be rehabilitated while in custody of the since-overhauled and rebranded Texas Youth Commission.

With that knowledge today, “There is a reasonable likelihood that Mr. Doyle would not have been sentenced to death,” Brandt said.

State attorneys told the justices Brandt’s arguments were not new, not material to Doyle’s case, that his problems in juvenile detention programs were only part of the punishment trial evidence against him, and that the Supreme Court never has recognized unknowing use of false testimony at trial by prosecutors as a constitutional due process violation.

Prosecutors said Doyle had been a major discipline problem for years, even going back to elementary school. As an adult, he had arrests for theft, fleeing an accident scene after a broadside crash and had gang connections, prosecutors said.

“I would say he received the sentence he got based on the brutality of the crime and what he had done previous,” Tom D’Amore, the lead trial prosecutor, said Wednesday. “The crime itself, to lure someone under the pretense of food delivered, certainly showed ultimately what Anthony Doyle was capable of and actually did.”

Cho, from South Korea, had been in the U.S. about two years and was earning money to care for her ill parents, according to Cho’s sister, who operated two doughnut shops.

Police already had been searching for her after she didn’t return from the delivery Jan. 16, 2003, and began canvassing homes in the area after a neighbor discovered her body in his trash can. When they visited Doyle’s parents’ home, his sister told officers about a wet brown spot on a carpet. Police then found blood spatters on the ceiling and kitchen walls and a strong odor of bleach and fresh paint. Evidence showed Doyle used barbecue sauce trying to cover the blood, tried to clean the scene and repaint walls.

He was arrested at a friend’s home in Dallas then gave a 10-page written confession.

Doyle told investigators he couldn’t get a job and was under pressure from parents and his girlfriend to support a 3-week-old daughter.
